I've actually had this shop fix a different rim for me before. Cool guy and simple cracks are usually $30-50. Just annoyed that now my side project tomorrow morning will be taking the wheel off and hauling it up there in the wife's car.

So today's entry in "The surprise expenses never stop"... Had the rear passenger tire in my caddy losing around 1lb of pressure every couple days, I believe if you recall I talked about this before in here and they found and fixed a flat (screw in the tire). It started again. I figured with...

The fact of it being in a bank account is part of my "speed to money" habit which came from my post depression era grandfather. It starts with that adage about "Always have 6 months of your expenses readily available in case of emergency", which for me I've always seen as something like...

Only big purchase would be the potential of "buying land away from town to build the forever house on" and that's a far larger scale than what's left. It's also probably something I'd cash out my outsized bucket of stock in my current company to do. But I am also in my mid 50's so looking at...

When I had around a nice car left, I meant in the principal, and if $50k is what it takes to get a nice car now, then it's less than a nice car left.... Around $36k

My daily driver is a full sized corsair mechanical with round keycaps on it.

Yeah, exactly how is the slicer or the printer going to know that the random plastic object it's fabricating is part of a gun? I mean, you might do something where the slicer sends it to an AI to identify, but then just make sure the slicer/printer don't have internet connections and you're golden.

I have mostly generic rounds. With a few "year of the <whatever>" rounds throw in for variety. A solid silver coin makes a treat card cover when playing poker.

RE: The bills every winning it all :

You sir, obviously work for the genius titans of capitalism that walk the Earth! Godspeed....

So today I find myself pondering something involving Chez Haus. We have a pretty tiny scrap left on a ~3% interest mortgage (To the tune of less than a decent new car amount of money). I have kept to my logic that the money I can deploy is making more than the mortgage rate so it doesn't make...

I wonder if they think they're going to do this with the highly vaunted "AI^2" architecture.... Artificial Intelligence * Another Indian (probably in India, maybe an H1b)

Oh, I wouldn't run the photon in my office either. Just that a lot of people talk about needing some super industrial vent system, but so long as you have some kind of air exhaust to pull air out of the room you should, IMHO, be fine. They make some now I have seen with activated carbon HEPA...

OK, from the reality of me having both a resin printer (OG Photon), and FDM (Currently Ender5 Pro). And doing a lot of printing over time for 28mm tabletop gaming. I print scenery, larger mobs, and such on the FDM and can get good enough with the Ender for that (Usually leveraging tree...

Embrace the one true keyboard... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_F_keyboard That bad boy will give you fingers so strong lesbians will envy you, and is loud enough that when you get into enthusiastic shitposting people will think you're firing a machine gun at the monitor to make your...
